Road Trip 2025 (New Mexico, Arizona,Utah. Nevada)

NEW MEXICO.

For my 43rd birthday celebration, husband and I decided to travel across the United States. I have been in the USA for close to 12 years now. I have traveled some states and the farthest is Colorado, but I always wanted to check out the beauty of Arizona and Utah. We live in Louisiana and going to those 2 states we have to pass by Texas and New Mexico. We did not really explore Texas since it is our neighboring state. And any time we can just go and travel to touristy places for a day of drive. 

First Stop NM.

This state is beautiful. It surprises me in the best way possible. The food? OMG! the best. First Agenda we went to Albuquerque. This city is so big. I am used to Shreveport Louisiana, a city that is 20 miles from our house. it's quite large but not compared to Albuquerque. We arrived around 3 pm and I thought it's like a small city in the beginning. 

We checked out the Tram in Sandia Park. Since it was my birthday, we wanted to eat dinner at their restaurant, but too bad it was closed. I think they open certain days of the week only. But we enjoyed the view every single angle of it. We rode a Tram Reaching the 10,378-foot crest of the Sandia Mountains, an 11,000 square mile panoramic view. It’s an elevation of the body, mind, and soul. A mere 15 minutes ride.  

On the way to the top, we have this knowledgeable young man who gives us a few facts about the place. He told us the history of how they built the Tram and why they build it. It was a very fun experience. Here's a few snaps. 


                                             




It was one of the Best Birthdays for me. A memorable one for sure! I was a little sad because I did not eat my noodles. On Husband and I's Birthdays it's always a tradition of ours to eat noodles. Filipino/Chinese say's it adds numbers to your life. So, we always did since we got married. but because we are traveling, I am not able to cook noodles/pancit. But wait. Husband surprised me with a cup noodles. I was so happy. The small gesture means so much to me. So yes! even far from home. I still enjoyed my birthday noodles in a cup this time and I love him so much more for that.
